Flow State Canvas: The One Page Plan To Get Into the Flow

After researching the science behind flow, I found nobody distilled all the different research into a simple strategy that could help us get into and leverage this state for work. 

Since I knew this skill was vital to much of my success personally and professionally, I knew people needed a simple way to clarify and organize all the information they needed to get into a flow state. 

So I took it upon myself to figure it out. 

I asked myself, how can I put together a way to get into the flow...

What is Flow State? The One Skill That Will Double Your Productivity

Flow state goes by a lot of different names like:

Being in the zone Runners high In the pocket In the cut Peak experience Getting stoked Samadhi Blissed out Sense of ecstasy

No matter what you call it, if youve experienced a time when you lost all sense of time because you were totally immersed in whatever you were doing, youve experienced flow state. Getting into flow state doesnt have to mean youre doing something monumental you can get into that feeling simply playing with your kids.

Wartime Business Playbook

Wartime requires a different business playbook, because what got you here, wont get you out.

Its easy to pat ourselves on the back during peacetime and say that weve done a great job. But during wartime, like now, we need to rise to the occasion more than ever.

We know that doing nothing in the face of what is happening is a non-starter. 

We know that people are scared and afraid. 

Not just of sickness, health, and death. But because people are losing their livelihoods overnight. And losing...

Small Businesses Should Create Apprenticeships. Especially Now.

I launched the nation’s first content marketing apprenticeship back in 2017 and it’s proven to be a competitive advantage for us that contributes to the bottom line.

This isn’t something I want to keep as ‘secret sauce’ — in fact, my vision is to help create a world where 10% of all the workforce are apprentices.

So why are small businesses like mine hiring apprentices?

Hire someone full-time at a low cost.
Invest in them with classes, on the job training, and mentorship.
They learn theory, get...

A Rare Conversation With “Laser” from American Gladiators on Mental Toughness

Did you ever watch American Gladiators growing up? I used to LOVE watching that show.

So when Laser from American Gladiators reached out to me, I was like whaaaaaat?

Laser was half all-American and half brawler. Shit, I used to cheer for him when he would get DQd for being a little extra!

Turns out, all of America loved Laser. He ended up being the longest-serving Gladiator on the show

and also one of the most injured.

He fought through physical injuries while filming but still put on...

How To Teach Your Kids How To Sell

It blows my mind seeing parents trying to find a job for their kids and simultaneously talking about how great their kid is. I see posts and get emails/texts like this all the time…

These parents are stuck doing things for their kids because they didn’t teach them how to sell at a young age.

I’m watching this happen with Girl Scout cookies right now.

My 6 year old is selling cookies for the first time so I said to my wife, “We’re not going to try to sell the most cookies. I want to teach our...

The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Surviving a Mid-Life Crisis

When I was in high school, I was told I should become a lawyer. I guess it was because I was well-spoken with a knack for being persuasive.

(Funny that no one was telling me to use my skills to be an entrepreneur.)

In anticipation of turning 16 and being able to drive, I reached out to Culver’s Alumni Director, Alan Loehr, and told him about my ambitions and asked for his help. He had me write a letter which I printed on resume paper (remember that?!) and he mined his database for 10 law...

My Review of The Wim Hof Method

If you’re looking to plan a retreat and want a life-changing experience, I’ve written this Wim Hof Method review just for you.

All too often, we get hit up by coaches and facilitators who are simply regurgitating something they’ve been trained on but don’t truly have evidence supporting their claims and their teachings sound a lot more like preachings.

That’s why I felt it was important to share this with you — so you get a testimonial from a fellow entrepreneur who wants to create a...

I reached out to five highly successful entrepreneurs and asked them what they felt were the highest ROI investments you can make in yourself for 2020.

I thought it was interesting to hear not-so-common insights which I hope you’ll find valuable in the new year.

Dr. Anil Idiculla, founder of iOrthodontics His Word: LOVE

Literal acts of love towards others — every single day. Gratitude is great and proven, but there’s no greater ROI than spending love currency.

I think gratitude is a form of...
